Jon,
I'm not sure how the absentee voting works here in Hawaii, but I know that when I was moving around in the Navy it was nice to be able to vote for elections that affected my home of residence. I've voted in person and I've voted via mail. I'll trust the US Postal service to deliver the ballto and I'll trust the folks who count the votes.
As for ballots not being properly counted, that can happen just about anyway you can imagine it happening. I would bet that for as long as we've had elections there have been folks trying to figure out how to discount someone elses ballot.
I guess I don't see this as an issue of us versus them, but just as an option that I prefer.
Cheers,
Sean
